First week for real this time!

Wow, what a week. This was my first full week and it was great! We had a group of middle schoolers from Florida. They finished up the dry wall on one of the houses as you can see in the picture. Usually Leah, my boss, just gets the volunteers started and mostly lets them work without much supervision. But recently we have had to stay with the groups all day and supervise them. The middle school group was great and got a lot more done than I thought they would. Friday I spent all day with Matt, Leah’s dad. He is a contractor and so I spent the day hanging joists, 19 feet of the ground. Sam, Matt employee, and I hung about a third of joists. So now Monday I can show the next volunteer group how to hang joists, this time they are only 3 feet off the ground. Yesterday Leah, Jessy, and I worked on one of the houses making sure that the house is ready for the dry wall guy, Bubba, to come and finish it. Well I am excited to start another week.

I hope Bubba does good sheetrock work. It is not much fun and can be really messy, but makes a huge difference on how good a house looks. Keep from getting moldy with all the rain. L~D
